Our 2nd stay

We stayed here several years ago and it’s still a great place to stay. The home is conveniently located north of the PCB crowds and near several lovely State parks. However, you can sit on the dock and enjoy watching the fish jump or take the jon boat out on the beautiful lake. Immaculately clean and well supplied, I highly recommend this home.

GREAT PLACE TO JUST RELAX

What a great place to stay and enjoy northern Florida! We were there for a month and enjoyed it very much. The home is very well maintained with ample room and is stocked with all of the necessary cooking utensils and dishes that you might need. The lake view and sunsets are fantastic and beautiful. Would very much consider visiting again!

Very relaxing and peaceful

We had a lovely time. We stayed here on 2 different occasions, and plan on returning again. Beautiful setting, quiet, relaxing and a perfect home for family. The boat dock on the lake is the ideal place to watch the sunset. The owner Don has always been more than helpful. And look forward to our next visit.

Our Home Away From Home

We absolutely love this lakefront home! We’ve stayed here twice while visiting family in the area, and each time has been wonderful. The property is beautifully maintained and offers everything you could want for a relaxing getaway. The view of the lake is stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset, and we love starting each day with coffee in the Florida room. The home itself is cozy, spotless, and stocked with thoughtful touches—from board games to kitchen essentials. The layout is perfect for family gatherings, with spacious common areas and comfortable bedrooms. The private dock is fantastic for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. The owners are incredibly responsive and accommodating, making sure every detail is covered for a seamless stay. We look forward to returning every time we’re in the area—it really feels like a home away from home!

Chipley Lakehouse

Was exactly as advertised. Pictures are accurate. Distance to Panama City was a little longer than anticipated. We drove to PCB twice each day. The lake was just beautiful though, wish we had more time to have fished it, but 3-4 hrs a day on the road to and from PCB takes a lot of the day. No restaurants in Chipley. I recommend this stay, however, it was nice to get away from the chaos of the beach. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet.

Great Lakehouse

Overall, we enjoyed use of the property. The space was big enough for our small family to be in separate areas enjoying different things. We loved the Florida room overlooking the lake! The dock was a hit and my son finally caught his first fish off of it! I used the kitchen for every meal and everything I needed for cooking was there. We truly enjoyed nature in all aspects and didn't turn on the TV once. We had one issue, checking in. I believe it to be a one off and cannot foresee it happening again but our access code did not work the first night and we ended up staying in a hotel since we could not make contact. Don was extremely accommodating to our issue, paying for our loss and even offering an additional night at no cost. Like I told him, we are human and everyone makes mistakes. While frustrating, it did not impact the activities we had planned for our extended weekend. Lastly, it's a bit far out from any stores so if you're used to just hopping in a car and running around the corner for something, you should plan accordingly. But that's a part of getting away, the quiet atmosphere and pure relaxation! Thank you Don and Pam for allowing us to stay in your home. We did our absolute best at ensuring we "left if better than we found it"! This property did not disappoint!

Visiting my son and wife

I rented this very comfortable home to visit my son and wife for 2 weeks. It was very clean and well stocked. They live near by, but this made it more comfortable for all. The home is lovely, and sits on a very calming lake. The neighborhood is very quiet and great for walking. I will definitely return for my next visit. The owners were very attentive and available if needed. It was a great experience.

House was excellent. Fishing could be better, but that's not the hosts fault - we'll blame it on the east winds. The house and property were as expected.

I traveled to Chipley to visit with family who reside nearby so the house was well-located for our needs. Everything was as advertised. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Paradise Lakes weekend

My family enjoyed our three day weekend at Paradise Lakes. The home is very clean and comfortable. The view from the back of the home onto the lake is fabulous. This home is approximately 30 to 40 minutes from Panama City in a rural area of Washington County, FL. It is very peaceful. It is perfect for some "chill" time and to reconnect with friends and family. If that is what you are looking for, then you will enjoy staying here.

Perfect Relaxation

The home was exactly as advertised, warm and welcoming. The neighborhood was very quiet. This made for a relaxing environment. Not far from PCB depending on traffic 35 -50 min. The Host : responded timely. I would highly recommend this vacation destination to anyone needing piece and quiet. The lake views will speak for themselves.
